It was already night, but flight was forbidden within Dragon City. The two jumped out of the window and hurried toward the Dragon Gate Inn.

As they rushed back to the Dragon Gate Inn, they could hear the sounds of fighting from afar. When they reached their lodgings, they saw True Person of Taiyi battling two people, none other than Luo Locust and Roe Deer who had been tailing him earlier.

Both Luo Locust and Roe Deer had a cultivation base of the True Immortal Realm Sixth Stage, and obviously, True Person of Taiyi who was at the Immortal Stage wasn't a match for the two. However, the duo didn't intend to take True Person of Taiyi's life, otherwise even ten of his lives wouldn't have been enough for them to kill.

It was just that the Spirit Marrow had been snatched away by these two, and True Person of Taiyi was unwilling to let it go, persistently chasing after them.

"Ruxue, you go save Ruyu, I'll kill these two and then join you," Wang Xiaoqiang instructed before they split up to act.

Although Luo Locust and Roe Deer didn't have cultivation levels as high as Wang Xiaoqiang's, they were still both at the True Immortal Realm Sixth Stage. Naturally, if they teamed up, they wouldn't be afraid of Wang Xiaoqiang.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang blocking their way, Luo Locust chuckled at him and said, "Kid, we, the Immortal Pirate of the Seas, move through the Martial World seeking wealth without causing harm. Today we're just here for this little piece of Spirit Marrow, so we hope you can show some respect and not force us to start a slaughter!"

The Immortal Pirate of the Seas was an organization led by a master at the Immortal Venerable Realm, who made a name for himself through thievery and survival through stealing. Not only did this gang survive by theft, but they were also involved in acts of robbery and looting at times. They were notoriously infamous in the Immortal Realm, with audacity that knew no bounds.

"Immortal Pirate of the Seas, huh, even thieves dare to claim to be immortals. It seems you steal not only possessions but also names under false pretenses. Sadly, today you stole from someone you shouldn't have, so your deaths are certain..."

"Hmph, you're only one level higher than us, don't forget there are two of us," Luo Locust scoffed at Wang Xiaoqiang, then exchanged a glance with Roe Deer.

The two drew out strange magic treasures and charged together to attack Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang sneered coldly, drew the Penglai Immortal Sword, and with a surge of Sword Light, he swung at the two advancing upon him.

The Sword Light surged like waves, engulfing the shadows of the two men.

Two agonized screams rang out as clouds of blood mist rose within the Sword Light. When the Sword Light vanished, two severely mangled corpses lay on the ground—the two True Immortals of the Sixth Stage, Luo Locust and Roe Deer, had been instantly slain by a single strike from Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Taiyi, grab the Spirit Marrow and follow me," Wang Xiaoqiang called out, then rushed toward Ruyu's room.

...

Like True Person of Taiyi, Ruyu had received Wang Xiaoqiang's Spirit Marrow and returned to her room to refine and absorb it, completely unaware that the Spirit Marrow in her hand was coveted and that she was being shadowed.

In the midst of her cultivation, she was bitten by the Lust Gu,

The Lust Gu was a type of insect that could incite lust. Once bitten by this insect, regardless of gender, one would be overwhelmed by uncontrollable desire. Even the most virtuous woman would be turned into the most wanton harlot.

Having been struck by the Lust Gu, Ruyu realized she had been the target of an assassination attempt and immediately notified Ruxue with a Communication Talisman. Luckily Ruxue arrived just in time, otherwise Boss Qu and the insect would have defiled her.

But with Ruxue's power at the Immortal Stage, how could she contend with Boss Qu who was at the True Immortal Realm Ninth Stage, not to mention an insect skilled in deploying Gu. If it weren't for their desire to desecrate her beauty before killing her, Ruxue probably would have been dead several times over.

The insect was truly malicious. As Ruxue fought desperately against Boss Qu, he stealthily released the Lust Gu, which bit Ruxue.

Having been bitten by the Lust Gu, Ruxue lost her ability to battle just like her sister and had to desperately utilize all her Spiritual Power to resist the poison's onset.

"Hehe, Boss Qu, now that both girls have been hit by my Lust Gu, there's no need for us to fight over them. One for each of us..." the bug-eyed man said with a lewd smile as he ogled Yans Ruyu.

"Bug-eyed, aren't you afraid of Wang Xiaoqiang?" Although Boss Qu lusted after the Yans sisters and was practically drooling, he had a premonition that Wang Xiaoqiang was about to arrive, so he cautiously reminded the other.

"That kid and this woman are together. If he was going to come, he'd have already been here. I reckon he's caught up in some important matter. Hehe, Boss Qu, if you're not going up, then I'm going for it..." The bug-eyed man was speaking when he suddenly lunged at Yans Ruxue.

Whoosh!

Before the bug-eyed man could pounce on Yans Ruyu, his body trembled as a Gang Qi Arrow pierced his chest, jolting his body upright as it hurtled towards Yans Ruyu.

Seeing the bug-eyed man hit by a sneak attack, Boss Qu immediately guessed it was Wang Xiaoqiang and fear flashed in his eyes. As he looked around, another whooshing sound was heard, and thump, a Gang Qi Arrow plunged into the bug-eyed man's forehead, knocking his body backward to the ground.

The bug-eyed man convulsed a few times and then lay still.

Boss Qu's fear visibly intensified. He reached into the air with his right hand, and light bloomed from his grasp, miraculously producing a Bone Jade Cane from thin air.

The Bone Jade Cane was entirely white, resembling a slender human bone with a red sphere at the tip, about the size of a child's fist, looking somewhat eerie,

In a panic, he lifted the Bone Jade Cane and exerted his Spiritual Power. The red sphere at the tip lit up, and a strange red light showered down, enveloping his entire body and casting a blood-red hue over his face.

Whoosh!

Wang Xiaoqiang drew the Sun-Shooting Bow and fired an arrow at him. The Gang Qi Arrow soared out but upon encountering the bizarre red light, it scattered like cotton and was repelled back.

Huh!?

Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze sharpened. He put away the Sun-Shooting Bow and then strode into the room, approaching Boss Qu.

Although Boss Qu was extremely wary of Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing his Bone Jade Cane fend off the arrow filled him with a sense of security. As Wang Xiaoqiang approached, a smug and cold smile appeared on his face. "Kid, you can't hurt me!" he said.

"Oh really? Well, I'd like to see about that!" Wang Xiaoqiang said as he launched a palm towards Boss Qu. A streak of lightning shot from his palm, piercing the red light that enveloped Boss Qu and striking his chest.

Boss Qu was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the wall before tumbling down. The Bone Jade Cane also flew out of his hand.

Wang Xiaoqiang stepped forward, picked up the Bone Jade Cane, held it in his hand, and then walked toward Boss Qu.

Boss Qu hadn't expected Wang Xiaoqiang to be so formidable, to be able to emit lightning from his palm and break through the Bone Jade Cane's protection, moreover, to be able to injure someone above two levels of his own.

He had no chance of resisting!

As Wang Xiaoqiang approached, a torrent of fear flooded Boss Qu's eyes. He threatened, "Wang Xiaoqiang, I'm the third in command of the Immortal Pirate of the Seas. If you kill me, it means declaring war on us. You better weigh that decision," he said.

"Immortal Pirate of the Seas, pah, 'Ocean Bandit' sounds better. Immortal Pirate of the Seas, huh? Fine, one day I'll wipe out this Immortal Pirate of the Seas," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he stepped towards Boss Qu. Under the trembling fear of Boss Qu, he smote his forehead with a palm. A jolt of electricity from his palm released, and the Thunderclap Annihilation Palm ended Boss Qu's life.

After dealing with Boss Qu, Wang Xiaoqiang turned his attention to the Yans sisters. He saw that both of the Yans sisters had flushed faces (to be continued.
